Julie Chinni , LPC

Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and substance use. Julie also supports people managing attention differences, bipolar mood shifts, and the fallout from past trauma.

Her style is warm and interactive. She treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them make informed choices. Sessions focus on building strengths and keeping dignity and independence intact.

Julie helps people cope with relationship strain, grief, anger, and major life changes. She also addresses attachment concerns, abandonment worries, and communication or commitment challenges. For those with chronic illness or caregiver stress, she offers practical ways to manage daily strain.

Her work includes supporting people through addiction, recovery, and issues related to divorce or blended family situations. She assists with body image, codependency, and problems that arise from dissociation or dependent personality patterns.

Julie draws from several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She aims for straightforward, goal-focused conversations that leave clients with tools they can use between meetings. If someone is ready to take a first step, she offers an empathetic, nonjudgmental setting to begin that work.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change how you feel and act. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a respectful relationship so clients can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She will adapt techniques as needs change and check in about what is helpful during the process.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face when travel or schedules are tight. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter form of contact fits a busy day. These options increase flexibility and make regular contact easier to maintain.
